Tuljak

COUNTRY: EstoniaLANGUAGE: Estonian

GENRE: Estonian Choral
An Estonian folk song that joyfully celebrates a wedding. Estonians love to sing, and they especially love to sing in public. As documented in the must-see documentary, The Singing Revolution, public singing played a crucial role in enabling a peaceful transition of power in the late ’80s/early ’90s as Estonia became independent from Soviet rule.

All Around This World’s lyrics:

Everybody come together, everyone in town’s invited
We are going to have a wedding, it will be today.
Wedding, yes we’ll have a wedding, everyone in town’s invited
We are going to have a wedding, it will be today.
Hõissa ja trallalla!
Tõnni’s going to marry Manni and we’re going to have a party
Eat and eat and eat and then we’re going to eat some more
Look at them they are so happy, in their eyes the sun is shining
Their whole world is beaming brightly…. Everybody dance!
Hõissa ja trallalla!
